Indian traffic is a great experience in educating yourself in driving skills and more.

Learning begins by unlearning. I have this understood when driving on Indian highways and roads. The driving schools teach you the traffic rules. One of which includes acting in accordance with the traffic signals. But if you were to follow the meaning of traffic signals and waited for the light to turn green, probably it might turn red again before you’ve managed to go across.

The new lesson learnt is that jump traffic signal when no one is watching! If caught, remember to use the name of some higher official as your relative in the traffic police department. He might salute you in public! If instead of traffic police someone else gives you that look implying you made a mistake changing the lane, remember to give him that stern offensive and agitated look that road-ragers wear. I know from my experience that this works in Delhi traffic.

Even if you know you were wrong, don’t admit it when it comes to having those fracases with your contesting drivers. But you must admit yours and even others’ faults when confronted by a policeman. That demeanor of yours may help reduce the amount of graft you have to shell out anyway.

Keep your vehicle and yourself safe. And your money when you must bribe traffic cop. Road safety in India is a skill to learn when driving with the kind of road traffic we have in Indian cities and handling the cops an advanced one at that.

Both the trainings go hand in hand and we all have our cherished learning experiences on the roads. Indeed roads are the greatest schools on mannerisms (read, bad mannerisms), driving ethics and how to swerve your wheel when you suddenly wake to your mistake or that of a fellow road user. Indian road traffic, be it one in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai or Bangalore, is a great experience in road education.
